    3.1 Eligibility phase

                                                                                             Page 6 of 9
Notice University Competition 2020

The assessment is based on an initial eligibility phase through an analysis of the candidate's file. The
selection is made on the basis of academic results, the candidate's cover letter and letters of
recommendation produced by professors from his or her IUT.

Candidates declared eligible are invited to the admission phase, which includes written and oral
scientific tests and an interview.

The eligibility phase will take place on May 13 and 14, 2020.

The eligibility panel classifies the candidates into two categories:
    • Candidates not authorized to continue the recruitment tests;
    • Eligible candidates in one or more Central Schools.

The publication of the results as well as the invitation to the admission phase of eligible candidates is
done by e-mail; no results are communicated by telephone.

It is the candidate's responsibility to provide a reliable e-mail address, which does not change during
the application process and to ensure that any filters do not block messages sent to them by
CentraleSupélec.

The programmes of the various events are available on the website:
https://www.centralesupelec.fr/fr/concours-et-conditions-dadmission

    3.2.1   Nature and procedures of the written tests

The written tests will take place on Monday 15 June 2020. Candidates must be present in the
composition room 15 minutes before the start of the tests.

The first written test, lasting 2 hours, consists of Mathematics exercises. The aim is to evaluate the
initial level of the candidate in Mathematics and to judge his ability to follow the specific curriculum
developed for CentraleSupélec students under the status of apprentice. The result of this test is a
score between 0 and 20.

The second written test, lasting 2 hours, consists of exercises in the themes of Physics or Mechanics.
The aim is to assess the candidate's level in a scientific field close to his or her initial curriculum. The
result of this test is a score between 0 and 20.

For the written tests, the use of any document is prohibited, with the exception of a French or
English language dictionary in paper format. All electronic equipment is prohibited, including
calculators, computers, tablets, mobile phones, connected watches (non-exhaustive list). Mobile
phones must be in the off position (not just in ringer off mode), stored and out of the candidate's
reach.

Candidates only need a pen, in blue or black ink. The composition and draft sheets are provided by
the examination centre.

    3.2.2   Oral tests

The oral tests will take place from Tuesday 16 June 2020 to Friday 19 June 2020.

                                                                                                Page 8 of 9
Notice University Competition 2020

For each 30-minute oral, the examiner gives the candidate one exercise.

The assessment is based on the ability to address a problem, the solution to which is a priori
unknown to the candidate, and the examiner can guide the candidate.

The result of each oral is a score between 0 and 20.

    4. Admission

Candidates will be ranked according to their results in the scientific tests. Candidates whose results
are deemed insufficient will not be ranked.

The list of ranked candidates will be announced before June 25, 2020. The jury may rank a smaller
number of candidates than the number of places available.

The admission of candidates will be decided by the CentraleSupélec Director in the order of ranking
and subject to obtaining the required Diploma at the first session at which the candidate can apply. It
will be final when the full registration process has been completed, the applicant has provided the
required documents and paid the registration fee.

    5. Complaints and complaints

The applicable law is French law.

Disputes may take the form of an ex gratia appeal to the Director of CentraleSupélec, a hierarchical
appeal to the Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation or a contentious appeal to the
Tribunal Versailles (56 avenue de Saint Cloud 78011 Versailles). The ex gratia appeal or hierarchical
appeal may be made without any time limit. On the other hand, the contentious appeal must be
lodged within two months of notification of the decision. Consequently, the ex gratia or hierarchical
appeal may only interrupt the period of contentious appeal if it has been submitted within the period
of contentious appeal, i.e. within two months of the notification of this decision. Thus, if you wish, in
the event of rejection of the ex gratia appeal or the hierarchical appeal (explicit or implicit due to the
absence of a response from the administration for two months) to file a contentious appeal, this ex
gratia appeal or hierarchical appeal must have been filed within the above-mentioned time limit of
the contentious appeal. You will thus retain the possibility of filing a contentious appeal, within two
months of the decision on the said ex gratia or hierarchical appeal.

                                                                                              Page 9 of 9
